[ecrea] Fully funded PhD studentships at the Centre for Memory, Narrative and Histories, University of Brighton

The Centre for Memory, Narrative and Histories (CMNH) at the University 
of Brighton invites applications for AHRC/TECHNE fully funded doctoral 
studentships commencing October 2019 on topics concerning the cultural 
significance of the past for lived experience, social relationships, 
politics and identities in the present and in the future. 
Trans/interdisciplinary in ethos, the CMNHoffers supervisory expertise 
to students working in and across a range of disciplines including 
history, cultural studies, literature, memory studies, social 
anthropology, cultural geography, art, media, film and visual studies, 
performance studies, critical theory, sociology, psycho-social studies, 
critical heritage studies, and narratology.
CMNH has particular research interests in the following thematic areas:

Heritage in the Twenty-First Century;

Medical Histories, Memories and Life Narratives;

Complex Temporalities in Post–Conflict Spaces;

Reparative Histories: Radical Narratives of 'Race' and Resistance;

The Northern Irish Troubles: Histories, Memories, Silences in Conflict 
Transformation;

History and Cultural Memory of Twentieth-Century Wars;

Contesting Britain at War.

Applicationsfor PhD studies in these areas, and on topics that address 
the relation between powerful or official memories, narratives and 
histories and those which give expression to subordinate, marginalised 
and neglected historical experience, are especially 
welcome.Proposalsconcerned with any practice that produces 
understandings and representations of ‘the past’ (including oral 
history, life history/life writing, remembrance and commemoration, 
public history and heritage, autobiography, and history-making in 
popular culture as well as academic scholarship), and that relates to 
the interests of individual supervisors, are also welcome. PhD students 
play a central role in the Centre and successful applicants will benefit 
from an exciting and supportive research culture with many opportunities 
for participation in our collective work. For further details about the 
Centre's thematic research areas, research interests and activities,
